   The steak was okay but far overpriced ($158) for the value. The the marrow and truffle crust was too salty and overpowered the flavor of the steak itself which was not cooked as requested. The artichoke was very good. The drinks were okay, but again, far overpriced. All in all, it was just okay and cost $360. The staff were kind and prompt.

   We had an amazing meal at Small Barn on Thanksgiving weekend during a two day visit to Temecula. Atmosphere is warm and inviting, cocktails were well crafted and balanced, and our server Hannah was kind, friendly, and went on and beyond to make our experience excellent. Portions are of average size but the menu is planned well for sharing. Every dish was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend this establishment.

   Visiting from Las Vegas. Found Small Barn and decided to give it a shot. Reviews were great and Small Barn didn’t disappoint. Food and drinks were unique and fresh. Beautiful covered and uncovered outdoor dining in Old Town next to the main street and yes they are dog friendly! Portions were perfect and after appetizer, entrees and desserts we didn’t leave hungry. Portions may seem small but then again some places have huge portions that you cant finish. Pricing is above average but the quality and atmosphere make it a worthwhile experience.

   The food and service was excellent. The hostess wasn't the most friendly but overall everything was wonderful, especially for a holiday.

   We came to Small Barm during our mini moon stay on wine country. We had never been to Old Town before and I happen to stumble upon Small Barn. What a delight! The ambience is beautiful with lovely indoor and outdoor seating. The bar inside was incredible. This small place definitely made an impression on us. We are still talking about the curry soup! Yum. We split the tomahawk steak and mushrooms. The steak was perfectly cooked and d paired nicely with their cab.

    Small Barn made my 35th birthday so incredibly memorable!! If you’re looking for a spot that nails both vibe and cuisine, this restaurant absolutely delivers. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was a dream. Imagine string lights casting a warm glow, beautiful decor, and a posh yet cozy atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. We kicked off with starters that blew us away. Each bite of the grilled artichokes paired with a rich garlic herb sauce and shaved goat pecorino was heaven. The ahi tuna in an agave soy marinade was vibrant and fresh, and the king oyster mushrooms in a creamy manchego sauce were next-level delicious. The curry carrot and apple soup brought it all together—smooth, savory, and subtly sweet. Our main courses continued to impress. We shared the seared scallops, which were perfectly cooked with that delicate, translucent center and accompanied by a roasted corn chorizo succotash in a garlic beurre monté—flavorful and unforgettable. The steak frites was cooked to a flawless medium-rare, with a grilled onion vinaigrette that added just the right touch. Every dish looked like it belonged on Chef Gordon Ramsay’s table, artfully plated and full of color. From start to finish, the experience was truly exceptional. Highly recommend this place if you’re after a memorable dining experience with dishes that will have you planning your next visit before you even leave!
